Today, a publication based in Turkey is reporting that the Turkish government has also blocked Google’s DNS service, making it even harder to circumvent the ban. Those in Turkey are still able to use VPN services to access Twitter, but it’s clear the government is not backing down yet.

News of DNS workarounds had spread quickly within the country; tweets sent from inside Turkey were up over 138% compared to before the censoring of the service was implemented.

CNET also reports today thatYouTube is at risk of being censored in Turkey as well. The video service has started to receive a large amount of requests from authorities in Turkey requesting that videos be taken down, but the company refuses to remove the videos as it supports a “free and open Internet.”
